    vector - char 255 warning

    I'm getting this compile message based on the below sample code. Yet I've populated a vector with strings in other ways and not seen the compilte error:
    c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\vector(60) : warning C4786: 'std::vector<std::basic_string<char,std::char_trai ts<char>,std::allocator<char>
    >,std::allocator<std::basic_string<char,std::char_ traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >

    >::~vector<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits <char>,std::allocator<char>
    >,std::allocator<std::basic_string<char,std::char_ traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > > >' :
    identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information

    Code:
    #include <vector>
    #include <string>
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    void main()
    {
    
    //Declaration for the string data
    std::string strData = "One";
    //Declaration for C++ vector
    std:: vector <std::string> str_Vector;
    str_Vector.push_back(strData);
    strData = "Two";
    str_Vector.push_back(strData);
    strData = "Three";
    str_Vector.push_back(strData);
    strData = "Four";
    str_Vector.push_back(strData);
    
    }
    Using MSVC++ 6.0

    NEVER MIND:
    "You can ignore these warnings.

    They're a well known bug with the compiler.

    You can remove them via following code:
    #pragma warning( disable : 4786)"

    They are not a bug... but yes, this particular warning is unimportant and can be ignored. It also only shows up in debug builds so if you were to switch to a release build it would disappear.

    The void main is another thing though...
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
